Performance Budgeting

Enhancing your website's performance is essential for ensuring a smooth and user-friendly experience. Auditzy provides a valuable feature known as the Performance Budget, designed to facilitate the ongoing monitoring and maintenance of your website's performance.

This feature empowers you to establish predefined thresholds for key performance metrics, such as Performance, Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint (FCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), Total Blocking Time (TBT), and Speed Index (SPI). By defining these benchmarks, you establish a baseline for acceptable performance levels.

In the event that any of the specified metrics surpass the set budget, Auditzy promptly sends you an email notification. This immediate alert allows you to swiftly address any performance issues that may arise, thereby enabling you to uphold the optimal functioning of your website.

# What is a Performance Budget?

Performance budgets serve as protective boundaries for your website, establishing constraints on resource consumption and stipulating essential loading speed criteria. These budgets are instrumental in preserving an optimal user experience and guaranteeing that your website aligns with predefined performance objectives.

Outlined below are illustrative examples of performance metrics that your team may consider incorporating into your performance budget:

• Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Define a threshold to ensure that the largest content element loads within a specified timeframe, such as under 2 seconds.
• Performance Score: Set a minimum target, such as 90 or higher, for the Lighthouse Performance score, reflecting a commitment to achieving and maintaining a high standard of overall performance.
• Speed Index: Establish a benchmark for the speed index, aiming for it to be under 1 second, contributing to an expedient loading experience for users.

# Why Set a Performance Budget?

Setting a Performance Budget offers several benefits:

1. User Experience: Ensuring that your website's key performance metrics meet the budget criteria will result in a faster, more enjoyable user experience.
2. Conversion Rate: Fast-loading websites tend to have higher conversion rates, which can positively impact your business.
3. SEO: Search engines favor fast-loading websites, and a well-optimized site can lead to improved search engine rankings.
